Basic Steel Patent.

Mr. Jacob Reese has had final hearing
In his case against the Bessemer Steel
Company, Limited, involving the numer-
Gus patents Oil the basic steel process, OF
which he is the inventor. aud which the
steel company claimed he had sold to
them on a royalty. All of Mir. Reese's
patents are in some way connected with
the basic process, and the tenor Of the
Masters finding, to whom the question
were referred for final determination, is
to the effect that all of those which
have no connection with the manufacture
of steel rails must not be conveyed to the
plaintiff. while those which are applicable
to that process must be conveyed.
This decision may be of much impor-
lance to the iron districts Of Virginia. =
Several years ago Mr.. Reese was in this
portion of the State. and examined the
iron ores found here. IL was his opinion
that they were peculiarly suited for the
manufacture of steel by the basic pro-
cess, and thought with the patents liber-
ated from the claim of the Bessemer Steel
Company, plants would be established in
this section. Since the final finding of the
Master. we learn that Mr.. Reese has in
stituted negotiations for the establish
ment of several plants and as many con :
verters at other loca lities. In Pennsyl
vania, county rights have been sold at
good fgLres, and the promise is that the
inventor will realize handsomely out of
his invent ons.

The Senate Thursday passed the bill to
charter the Eads Ship Railway Company
by vote of as to 7. The bill as passed in
corporates James B. Eads and some eighty
other persons under the name and title of
the Atlantic and Pacific Ship Railway
Company. The stock is not to exceed
$780, ,0O0 and when ten per cent of
stock is subscribed and ten per cent there
ON paid in cash, meeting of stockholders
is to be held in Washington OF New York
for the election of directors. If ten mil
lions of stock is not subscribed for, and
ten per cent in cash paid thereon within
two years, the charter is to exp ire by linn
itation.
1t strikes the public that if Gov Lee is
really the Governor of the State in fact as
well as in name, he would not be meet
ing caucus of democratic politicians,
outside of Richmond, to determine wheth-
er or not there should be an extra session
OF the Legislature. If the condition of
the State, in his opinion as Governor, and
he is presumed to know it, is such as de-
mands an extra session, he ought to call
1t. Ii it is merely question Of party ex-
pediency, then it is beneath the dignity
and character of the office he holds to con-
slider it at all.

Iron OF q Production.

Major John w. Powell, director of the
U. S. Geological Survey, has furnished the
following statement for Publication. 1t
is matter of great interest to Virginia,
as there are prolific iron districts in this
State which have not received the atten-
tion they should have done, and which
when properly explored, may become
sources of great :yalue, instead OF waste
land. with but nominal value attached to
them. Major Powell says:
The great increase in the production Of
pig iron, from 4, 529 1863 short tors in 1885,
to 100000 short tons during the year
1856, has led to much inquiry as to the
source of the ores which made this increase
possible, for it is we'll known fact that
even the ordinary production is asdrain
upon the ore deposits sufficient to exhaust
the present sources of actual supply in q
short period, perhaps in thirty years, more
probably in much less time. The state
ment was made last year by me that with
in thirty years the necessary explorations
for new iron ore mines would exceed that
Of Great Britain, where every available
deposit is being traced to the turthest ex
tent. The years 1885 and 1886 have shown
the justice Of this prediction in the devel
opment of new fields to support the in-
creased production. The new Gogebic
district, which produced ! 1922 tons in 1884
increased to II ,66l tons in 1885, and in
creased this four-fold in 1886, has been the
scene of unparalleled developments, and
the same is true of the Vermilion district
of Minnesota. Tie confidence with which
capital has been invested in these new
claims is due to the advice of the geolo-
gists to extend the mines in this direction
That the new mines are the result and not
the cause Of the increased production Of
iron and steel is shown by the increased
imports of Spanish ores in the last year, as
the result of higher prices. This shows
that the remeoysfor prospective exhaus-
tion is still further explorations for the
mines to which the geologist points in va
rlous parts of the country. Many Of the
large deposits have been neglected as not
suitable for making steel by the ordinary
acid process and in others the percentage
Of iron is not attractive But much at
tention will undoubtedly be given to these
ores within the next few years. This ten
dency is seen at one locality in Tennessee
by the increase from 70757 long tons in
1884 to 94.S19 long tons in 1885, and even
the siliceous ores at Cornwall, Penn. show
increased uSe

There seems to be embarrassment in
selecting successor to Secretary Man
ming. The President wants to appoint a
Western man, with eastern ideas of
finance, and the Western Democrats say
that if the President wants eastern ideas
in his Cabinet he had better
take an Eastern man, and not one from
the West who does not represent the
West. It is fixing up things for 1888, that
appears to be the difficulty.

they claim as the election of Mr.. Turpie to

however, by fraud and brute force. And
yet they are not happy. as is evidenced
from the following statement of the Wash

Tribune. He says: s'There is a good deal
OF feeling expressed among the Indiana
democrats here tonight, especially the
followers of Voorhees, and Mcdonald, in
regard to the form OF the credentials pre-
pared by Governor Gray. They assert that
the very face Of the credentials calls for
an investigation. and that it was so intend

Ibid it ever occur to you,o said a prac-
tcal business man the other day, "how
unjust the system Of license tax is Eve
rybody recognizes the fact that merchants
and professional men are necessary to a
community. Inducements are held out to
them to locate in town, and yet they are
forced to pay specific amount for the
privilege of conducting business, as if the
conduct of their business was against pub
lie policy. Neither farmers nor manufac
turers are subjected to any such exactlon,
and it seems nothing short of injustice to
fasten this burden upon the mercantile

If any one should have doubts about the
condition Of the Democratic party in West
Virginia, we refer him to the following
statement of Hon. D. B. Lucas. the able
democratic representative in the l4egisla-
ture from the county of jefferson. in a
speech he made nominating Hon. E. W.
Wilson for U. S. Senator:
There is not crime in the calendar of poiiti-
cal methods which the self constituted leaders
OF the Democratic party in this State have not
encouraged their followers to commit. Their
one idea of conducting political campag On has
been the free, and may add, Illicit use of
money.
Referring again to the assumed leaders
of the party, he said in the same speech :.
They have more than once degraded our par
" with the suspicion of purchased senatorial
honors. and have consorted with the most We
nal OF political parasites. They have denoun-
ced our Court OF Appeals because OF it's incor-
rupt1bility they have derided our Governor
because he was on the side of the people: thew
have shamefplly abused the Federal patronage
for their own advancement.
This is from the highest democratic au-
thority in that State. Mr.. Lucas is recog-
nized as very able and pure man, who has
the courage of his convictions and is not
afraid to give them expression on all APP
propriate occasions. He declared he could
not and would not vote for the reelection
OF Senator Camden because it would be to
vote against his sense of duty to his party,
his State and country that Camden repre-
sented Commercial Crime'' in the
Standard Oil Company, and that to re-elect
him would be an assault upon the under
lying principles of Republican govern
ment.
